Summary "Familiar Quotations" by John Bartlett is a collection of passages, phrases, and proverbs traced to their sources in ancient and modern literature, written in the late 19th century. This compilation serves as a reference work, aggregating notable quotations from a wide range of authors, primarily in English, as well as selections from French literature and ancient wisdom. The book is aimed at lovers of literature and those seeking insightful expressions that resonate across time. The opening of this collection features an introduction that emphasizes the difficulty of curating a selection of quotations that are recognizable and familiar to a broad readership. Bartlett expresses gratitude to those who contributed to the book and acknowledges the authority it has gained over time due to its various editions and enlargements. He mentions the intention behind the collection—to present well-known sayings alongside lesser-known gems—creating a rich tapestry of literary thought. The initial excerpts provided introduce some of the famous sayings from well-known writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer and Thomas à Kempis, setting the stage for a treasure trove of wisdom that follows throughout the text.
